Looking at these five records, my top five of the year thus far, I am surprised how pedestrian they are... or at least how "mainstream". I guess this has been a weaker year in music because I just haven't bought enough records and it has been a bad year for hip hop. anyway..... 1. Belle and Sebastian- If You're Feeling Sinister 2. Moloko- Do you Like My Tight Sweater 3 Spiritualized- Ladies and Gentleman We are Floating in Space 4. Oasis- Be Here Now 5. Blur- Blur If you haven't heard the Moloko record.. do so. It is the year's great party record. Picture Digital Underground mixed with Portishead. matrix ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
